Take the Dante's Inferno Test

Yeah, I just realized how long it's been since I've updated in my blog.

So, anyway, I can't remember all that's happened over the last 2 months, so I guess it wasn't anything too important.

I saw Phantom of the Opera. Wow. Just wow. Seriously, Erik needs a hug. You can't help but not wish that Christine would've gone with him, but in all truth, Christine loved Raoul. Not Erik. (Although, maybe she cared for him, but in a different way).

Yeah, I cried. I couldn't help it. I felt ashamed doing so, but it just came out. Which is strange. The only movie I cried at was "The Green Mile".

Also, I'm reading "Phantom". Damn, this book is good. It can get really sad though.

If you've read the original PotO book, then you'll see how Gaston Leroux tries to prove that the Phantom is real. Well, there's a website (phantomoftheopera.info.com or something) that has some interesting articles supporting that. If Erik was real, then that would be awesome. I guess it's just one of thos mysteries that you'll never really know...

My head has been in the cloud lately. I've heard different stories and such running through my brain.

Lately, I've just been feeling really strange.

On more than one occasion, I'll be at school or something, and I'll just look at the crowd, but I don't really feel like I belong there. I don't know how to describe. I'll feel, somewhere inside, that I just do not belong here. I'm not even sure where "here" is. I can't shake the feeling.

Sometimes I just feel isolated from everyone. Kind of stuck in my own mind, you know?

When I'm hanging out with my close friend, I'm not like that. Not really. But anywhere else, I'm never fully there.

"I am simply not there."

Don't worry, I'm not sinking my way into some depression or whatever. I'm fine. It's just that I feel like this a lot. And I can't help but wonder why I feel this way.

Our first semester is ending, the second one is beginning. Soon I'll be in lunch with Erica, Amber, and Amber. That'll be fun. I can already imagine us being extremely loud and obnoxious.

Finals are this week. God, I'm dreading them. They're not that bad, but I do not wanna take my Chemistry and Geometry finals. I'm terrible at both, and I loathe my Geometry teacher.

I just bought "The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe" today. Man, that guy was morbid. But he's still a great writer, none the less.

"If you have no great attachment to your head," she continued slowly, "perhaps you would prefer to share the fate of a Chinese eunuch and carry your genitalia around with you in a small jar of brine."
[Erik] made a graceful shrug of mocking indifference.
"Are you so sure a small jar would contain me, madame?"

-- From "Phantom"

Yeah, I love that line.

I love this book.

"My mind has touched the farthest horizons of mental imagination and reaches ever outward to embrace infinity. There is no knowledge beyond my comprehension, no art or skill upon this entire planet that lies beyond the mastery of my hand... But as long as I live, no woman will ever look on me in love." Erik, in Phantom

Yes, it's a wonderful book. I'm honestly not sure why Erik's character appeals to me so much. He just does. He can be a heartless killer, yet he find himself unable to hurt animals, and gives thousands of gold to support people he doesn't know. He's a very strange character.

Ok, I've gotta head out now. I was supposed to be off the computer an hour ago. Whoops. :-P
